In ASP.Net 2.0 GridView is most often used to display the data retrieved from the database in Tabular form with features of Gridview like data paging, sorting and auto formats.

You can use C# code to bind the SQL data with GridView control and follow the following simple steps to make your ASP.Net GridView control with paging enabled.

First of all drag the GridView control from Data controls menu.

<asp:GridView id="GridView1" runat="server"></asp:GridView>

To enable the paging in GridView control select True from the dropdown list of AllowPaging property of GridView control as shown in the above image.

HTML source code for GridView Control:

<asp:GridView id="GridView1" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" OnPageIndexChanging="GridView1_PageIndexChanging" PageSize="5"></asp:GridView>

 
You can set the PageSize value as per your requirement.
